Um, what in pluperfect hell kind of question is that to ask in an atheist forum? Everybody's going to say that their particular religion got it right. If you ask me, of all the major world religions, Buddhism is probably the closest one to getting it right. Hell, considering the fact that the Universal Life Church's creed consists solely of "Do only what is right," it is probably the best answer for such a nebulous question.

Obviously, only one religion can be right. Just as obviously... it is this one.

Got what right there are so many different view points in all religions that each religion can not agree who got it right within that religion. Narrow it down a bit.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Am I right? About it being an important question? NO,it's a matter of indifference to me actually.
An agnostic atheist, I don't believe in any gods,the supernatural, the soul, the paranormal, or fairies at the bottom on my garden. In the absence of any evidence I'm unable to believe any religion got it right and really don't care about the personal superstitions of others.

As an atheist, I'm convinced that no religion is correct.
However, while all religions are essentially delusional, some are more harmful than others. Evangelical monotheism (i.e. christianity, islam and offshoots) are imo the most damaging religions in that they tend to be aggressive, misogynistic and intolerant. Hinduism isn't exactly a bed of roses either. The caste system is absolutely central to the hindu religion, and is also highly repressive.
The least harmful religions are imo the various forms of paganism. Its new-age goobledigook, of course, but its relatively harmless. If I had to join a religion, it would probably be this one. They seem pretty much okay.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Sadly, Zeus is no more real than Yahweh, his illegitimate son, or allah. Just made up shit that serves the purposes of the priest class.
At least Zeus was not quite the same murderous old bastard as the angry desert gods.
